    Can’t think of any team in any sport ever which plays so much less than the sum of its parts

    @MajorRage I know nothing about football, but how much time in the endzone do you need?

      “It’s a funny old game Saint”

      Down and almost out without raising a finger then super Bellingham goal and Kane shows up in extra time and it’s England 2-1 up and likely to progress

      Slovakia will be kicking themselves
      Opportunity lost

        England are the anti-Barbarians

        Players play & perform for some of the best club sides in the world

        Spend plenty of time together as a team but look like they barely know each other

        Lack of basic skills and vision doesn’t allow them to freestyle when they’re up against it

          @MiketheSnow and they left arguably their two most creative players at home

            I rate Switzerland a chance. If they like they did vs Germany and Italy they’ll be a good chance.

              England have showed exactly zero sign of playing to their potential, so I rate Switzerland favourites

                  Maro Itoje is having a fantastic match for Spain on the left wing.

                      Wow, if you want to watch a team just pass between their back three all day then watch England. Devoid of any ideas of how to break down the formation in front of them, but every punter and commentator seemingly could see it. How could a team of champion players be so bad as a team?

                      Part of me feels they can only improve and with those players you would think they would have to, but they are so far off right now. Its like watching an old episode of Fawlty Towers. The irony is though, they are still there and Basil is saving his moves for the Germans. (note I do know the swiss are up next)

                        Jees that was a braindead offside by Foden in the disallowed goal. Does he even know how to soccer?

                            I've heard of fairweather fans but fairweather drinking fans is taking it a bit far.

                                Both trying to win it now

                                But extra time still looks likely

                                    France with a lucky deflection to go 1-0 up with about 10 to play

                                      France win 1-0

                                      Unbelievably they haven't scored a goal from open play (today's was a massive deflection and should be classed as an own goal) and they're in the QF

                                          Own goal has had a great tournament so far, well ahead in the goal-scoring race (9).
